It's time for some more card talk! This time we take a big leap ahead in the fool's journey to find him spending time with the orb that lights up our night sky, the Moon.

Summer Solstice, Midsummer, and Litha are all names normally associated with this holiday. On a Midsummer's Eve, the magick abounds!

We're all growing, trying to break generational curses, and improving ourselves a little bit each day, right? Well, I imagine most of us that live a meta life and listen to this podcast are anyway. Culture wants to rage about the toxic side of masculinity, but it's not as often that we hear about what positive, or Divine, masculinity looks like for those in our lives. For those of us who are raising kids, trying to heal ourselves, or even just trying to be a more whole individual, this is the episode for you. And what better time than following a day to celebrate dear ol Dad? Working on your divine masculine energy does not exclude those that do not identify as male, either. There is something here for everyone this week! Happy Father's Day to all the parental units that work to improve themselves and those that they are raising so that we leave the world a little bit brighter, and a little bit kinder, than the one that we inherited. From us here at Witches Unknown, we thank you and support you! Socials: witches unknown & theblackbearoftarot @ Gmail, Facebook, Instagram

We finally made it back to the mics together! We took a well needed break and trekked off to Cali to see the sights and theme parks out west. We loved our time away, but it provided for an interesting topic through it all. What makes the this the "happiest place on earth"? What makes it someplace that we all want to visit and then go again? Sure, there's cheaper and closer places, but there's something about it as soon as you walk in the gates... listen to some of our theories and feelings we got from our time there! If you have magical stories about Disney, email or message us and let us know! Socials: witches unknown & theblackbearoftarot @ Gmail, Facebook, Instagram

It's been busy lately, but we finally found some time in the wee hours. This week I have a new guest cohost in my oldest friend, Ryan. Listen in to see how his journey has changed the way he views life and even himself. We talk about how we met, and how we met again 2o years later! He talks a little about how he handles stress in life and on the job in a fashion as he works at home. We also reveal his side of the story about how he felt when I first came out of the broom closet and how I've changed over the years. All this came about from his tarot pull, and that included the four of cups. Stop spitting in the universe's face and learn to see the magical even in the middle of depression. Realize that you know that everything is now ok. Socials: witchesunknown & theblackbearoftarot @ Gmail, Facebook, Instagram

It's finally here! Beltane!!!! The fire holiday that marks the beginning of summer has arrived. Although we didn't get the episode out in time for your ears to hear about it, we recorded it on the blessed day. Learn some of the history behind Beltane and some current ways to celebrate with pagans and non pagans alike! I'll give you a big hint... it mostly consists of three of my favorite things... fire, sex, and food! Be by your community and enjoy the time together as we embark on warmer days ahead.

This week we have a tarot talk with Bear. We move on to the second card of the Major Arcana... The Magician! We dig deep into this sharp dressed man and talk more about the card itself as well as the more esoteric aspects of it and how that still applies to life today. Of course, I can't go without making a movie reference, so listen to see how Saturday Night Fever comes into play while I ramble. There are so many positive things this archetype can be used for that i could only graze over some of them. So gather around and the fire and see what this card can do for you!

We spent the weekend in the Big Easy and man did we have fun! This episode we discuss everything from the city, the witchy shops, the parade, and the music. Thinking about it now, I'm not sure how we didn't mention anything about the food lol. But it was amazing as well! The city was electric with magical energy and there tarot readers or meta stores on nearly every corner. The other corners usually were occupied by artists or musicians. We had an amazing time and we will definitely be back to see more! O, and who knew New Orleans had a gay Easter parade?? We didn't but we joined in the march and finished the evening with a very entertaining drag show! Did I mention my theory on Neil Gaiman's "American Gods"? Yah we talk about how he might be as far off as some people think. Regional gods, regional magicks.... We talk about it more!
